We went all over yesterday looking for skis. Luke didn't get any, but Fred did. So we had to hit the slopes today - and we did - despite the conditions. It was rough, but totally worth it. Here's the journalling (sorry for the caps): SKI SEASON HAS BEGUN AND YOUR DAD WAS FEELING THE PRESSURE TO GET YOU ON SOME SKIS. WE SPENT YESTERDAY GOING FROM SHOP TO SHOP CHECKING OUT THE OPTIONS. YOUR DAD FOUND SOME SKIS, BUT YOU CAME HOME WITH ONLY THE POLES AND THE SHOES. WE DECIDED TO RENT IN ORDER TO SEE HOW YOU GOT ON AND IF YOU LIKED IT BEFORE COMMITTING TO THE SPORT. YOU WERE DISAPPOINTED NOT TO HAVE YOUR OWN, BUT THE SHOES MADE FOR SOME GOOD FUN. THE FORECAST WASN’T GOOD WHEN WE LEFT, BUT A REPORT ON THE RADIO GAVE US SOME HOPE. ONCE WE WERE UP THOUGH, IT WAS CLEAR WE WERE IN FOR A COLD, WINDY, SNOWY TIME. WE ALMOST TURNED AROUND AND WENT BACK HOME BEFORE GETTING OUT OF THE CAR. YOUR DAD REALIZED HE’D FORGOTTEN HIS COAT HALF WAY UP THE MOUNTAIN AND WE WEREN’T SURE HE WAS GOING TO LAST LONG. BUT YOU WERE GUNG-HO AND WE REALIZED WE WEREN’T GOING TO BE ABLE TO RETURN HOME WITHOUT GETTING YOU ON SOME SKIS. WE SET OFF TO HOOK YOU UP. AND YOU TOTALLY ROCKED!!! YOU CAUGHT ON STRAIGHT AWAY AND WERE ALL FOR HAVING ANOTHER GO ONCE YOU GOT TO THE BOTTOM. I TOLD YOU THAT WE’D BUY YOU YOUR OWN SKIS IF YOU DECIDED AFTER YOU HAD TRIED IT THAT YOU LIKED IT. THE FIRST THING YOU SAID TO ME AT THE BOTTOM OF YOUR FIRST RUN WAS: “SEE MAMAN, I LIKE THE SKI. SO WE CAN BUY IT...THE SKIS FOR ME?” WHAT COULD I SAY? YOUR DAD WAS AMAZED, AND RELIEVED. YOU CRIED WHEN WE SAID WE HAD TO GIVE THE SKIS BACK. ONLY A PROMISE TO STOP BY THE GAS STATION SO YOU COULD PICK OUT A PIECE OF CANDY GOT YOU MOVING TOWARDS THE CAR. THAT AND A PROMISE TO LOOK FOR YOUR OWN PAIR OF SKIS AND TO RETURN TO THE SLOPES VERY SOON.
